Coto de Caza, Gated residential community in Orange County, United States.
Coto de Caza is a gated residential community in Wagon Wheel Canyon, Orange County, California, covering twenty square kilometers. The development includes around four thousand single-family homes, several golf courses, and sits surrounded by wooded hillsides and open meadow landscapes.
An oil company and a real estate developer founded the community in the mid-nineteen sixties, initially planning it as an exclusive hunting lodge. The focus quickly shifted to residential construction, and by two thousand and three the build-out was complete.
The community maintains Los Ranchos Estates, a separate 355-acre rural section containing 75 custom homes with its independent homeowner's association.
Children and teenagers living here attend schools in the Capistrano Unified School District, ranging from elementary to high school. Roads within the grounds are wide and mostly level, making it easy to get around on foot or by bicycle.
The neighboring Thomas F. Riley Wilderness Park offers trails through a nature reserve protecting endangered native plant and animal species. Within the community lies Los Ranchos Estates, a separate section with seventy-five properties on hilly lots.
